It's time for a showdown, all the powerful officials in Beijing are my students!

Chapter 188 Chapter 187

An Xin went out for a trip and came back quite thirsty, so she sat down and took a sip of the tea cup Mingyue handed over, and just quietly watched them behaving like monsters.

Chen Qibao joined the team of criticizing her own female students.

He blinked aggrievedly, there were no tears in his eyes, and after squeezing for a long time, he couldn't squeeze out the pitiful tears.

In the end, he simply forgot it, and said in a broken jar: "Teacher, I am the youngest among all your students and disciples, shouldn't you be the most partial to me?"

"And me, and me," Gao Tai said, "Teacher, I also want the New Year's gift from you."

"As a matter of fact, being the biggest of the four needs to be cared for." After Jiang Chenxi said this with a blushing face, he quickly lowered his head, obviously this one was still thin-skinned.

"Pa" An Xin raised her red palm and blew on her mouth, then looked at the shameless things.

"When we came back from the north, we brought back furs and precious medicinal materials, and each of us had a car.

Now that you have the fur, why are you brats short of cloth? You need me to buy robes and cloaks for you. "

"Bah! I also make clothes for you." An Xin pointed jealously at the gleaming brocade robes on several people, and said bitterly, "You think these fabrics can be bought in the market."

Yu Chiyi and Jiang Chenxi's family had quite a lot of official positions, and they would receive some rewards from the palace every year. The material of their clothes was the brocade bestowed by the imperial court, which was really rare in the market.

Yu Chiyi and the others looked at the robes and cloaks in the bundle on the table with sneaky eyes.

Kong Xun, who was leisurely drinking tea, caught a glimpse of them, paused the teacup in his hand, put it down quickly, stood up and walked over, holding the apricot-yellow robe and dark red cloak that An Xin had chosen for him at that time.

There was a smile on his handsome face, and he said softly, "I'll take these back first, and then I'll come out and help you copy books in the study."

After speaking, he turned his head and left, as if there were bandits chasing after him.

Indeed, there were four bandits behind him, looking at his back with scorching eyes, as if they were going to make two holes in Kong Xun's back.

Just as the four of them withdrew their gazes and were about to reach out to the remaining packages, a cold voice came from the door.

"If you guys dare to touch the burden today, whether you can see the sun tomorrow will become a problem."

When Yu Chiyi and the others heard this voice, they shuddered tremblingly, and turned their heads to look at the few tall and straight men who walked in, feeling very careful.

It seems that not only did they not get the clothes today, but they were also picked up by a few senior brothers, and they looked at An Xin for help.

An Xin drank tea leisurely, pretending not to notice, and let them go.

Seeing Zhu Shijing and Jiang Zhou Anrui trying on the cloak that An Xin had customized for them in front of the four younger juniors, he turned a blind eye to their reddened stares with jealousy.

Only then did I realize that childishness knows no age.

If it weren't for the inconvenience of changing robes here, they probably wouldn't even miss this opportunity to show off.

In a blink of an eye, it is the 29th of the twelfth lunar month.

Tomorrow is New Year's Eve, and An Xin will also enter the kitchen to direct the cook to cook some modern delicacies for the New Year.

Just then An Xin bought the star anise, bay leaves, cinnamon bark... bought from the pharmacy as medicinal materials, made them into seasoning packets and put them in the meat cooking pot.

At this time, Qingfeng walked in and whispered something to her.

"Hiss!" An Xin didn't take her hand back just now, and was burned by the heat when she was too close to the pot.

"Master." Qingfeng was annoyed at how she came in to report at this time and hurt An Xin.

An Xin looked at the breeze with tears in her eyes as she picked up her red hand and put it into the basin of cold water brought by the cook.

He comforted: "It's okay, I was just burned by the heat in the pot."

Qingfeng is not a person who makes a fuss, but when she blames herself for reporting the incident, she should wait until An Xin leaves the stove.

An Xin frowned slightly when she thought of Qingfeng coming in to report.

After the burning sensation in his hands subsided, he waved his hands to stop Qingfeng from following him, and walked towards the front yard alone.

She didn't go directly to the reception hall in the front yard, but walked into the big study in the front yard.

Because the imperial court had a seven-day holiday for Zhengyuan, these few people didn't go out for a few days, most of the time they were either in their own rooms or in the study.

After entering, she saw Zhu Shijing was missing from the other five except Liu Boxing who was at home with his grandfather during the New Year. An Xin asked casually, "Ah Jing went out?"

"Some time ago, the second room of Chen Bo's mansion came back from his hometown. Earlier, a young man came to pass the word, saying that the second wife of Bo's mansion asked him to come over."

An Xin heard that Zhu Shijing was called away by her aunt, so she didn't take it to heart, and walked to the study window to look in the direction of the hall.

"Are you worried about him?"

An Xin glanced at Li Ziyu who was asking the question, and nodded sincerely, "A little bit."

"How long has Master Kong been here?"

Li Ziyu narrowed his deep eyes, pursed his thin lips and didn't speak again, and the others felt that the head of the hill took extra care of him.

An Rui looked left and right, and it seemed that he was either busy reading or writing couplets. He was the only one who had the most leisure, and replied: "When I came, I was taken in by Kong Xun. I saw that both of them looked bad."

An Xin went to the chair and sat down without asking any further questions, watching Leng Xiangbai and Jiang Zhou write the Spring Festival couplets to be posted tomorrow.

Afterwards, An Rui and An Rui started cutting red paper. For a while, the study was quiet and warm, and even Li Ziyu, who was reading the official documents, came over to help at some point.

Time passed slowly, until I heard a bang coming from the hall, and saw Taifu Kong staggering out.

When An Xin and the others walked out of the study room, they saw Taifu Kong's back was extremely lonely, trembling like fear.

When An Xin and the others walked into the hall, they saw Kong Xun's eyes were reddish, staring blankly at the entrance of the hall in the direction that Mr. Kong was leaving, the corners of his eyes were wet.

"Are you okay?" An Xin asked.

Kong Xun blinked, forcibly suppressed his emotions, and smiled bitterly at An Xin.

The voice was a little hoarse and low: "When I was sick and weak, I accidentally learned that I was not born by my mother. He deliberately revealed it to my mother."

The others were a little confused because they didn't know the cause and effect. Only An Xin understood the meaning of Kong Xun's words.

"What kind of grudge does he have against you, and he actually wants to use his wife's hand to harm you." An Xin twitched the corner of her lips: "Teacher Kong is really a good man who loves his wife and son."

An Rui exclaimed: "Looking at a very refined person, he can still do such a thing."

At first, he didn't really like to see this guy who took the attention of his own hill leader, but now seeing his pitiful appearance, he felt a little sympathy.
